I haven't but have a few friends that have. Para's, a liney and a couple of infantry chaps.
I'd go in the RAF if I could have my time again. I don't regret the path my life's taken but that does make me think.. |

81 years ago exactly to the day, my Dad lost his Spitfire to enemy fire and parachuted into the sea where he swam for several hours before being rescued.
A very hard act which, thankfully, I never had to follow as I didn't inherit his courage. However, I'm here because of his survival and the bravery of him and his colleagues on that and subsequent days of the Battle of Britain. |

I applied as a driver in the RLC (army) but because of a skin condition was told I wouldn’t be accepted.
Was the only thing I ever wanted to do. If I’d have known before having children I could have appealed their decision, I would have reapplied after I spent two years training ready with a few friends that I met based near me (infantry) before applying to give me a better advantage. Still beat myself up about it too |

....Always a Sapper...
....I originally applied to the RAF straight from school, was accepted, but had to wait six months until I was sixteen-and-a-half...
....and was talked out of it by the relatives I was living with at the time - re-applied 18 months later, but got turned down because I'd previously 'backed out'...
....walked out of the RAF office and across the corridor into the Army one - and ended up reporting to the RE Training Depot in my home town that I'd left two years earlier!  |

It was partially blind in one eye, due to a mate messing with an air pistol. It was nice to get through the aptitude tests though.
I was told that I could re apply next year, but my eye sight never got good enough to join.
An Articifer was an officer in the engineering branch, you were hated by both ranks and officers. They worked hard to get to where they are, an Articifer gets the rank due to their knowledge. |

Agreed,

What about the forces delivering oxygen and PPE for the NHS last year. What about the RAF and army helping when that dam was bursting a couple of years ago in Cumbria. What about the navy and airforce sending humanitarian aid all round the world. What about the women in Afghanistan who have had real rights for the last 15 years due to the soldiers being over there and protecting them. What about the soldiers and aircrew who stood in for the fire brigade when they were on strike?
What about cowards who will sit behind a keyboard and slag us off for serving our country when needed. Not just “killing people” |

"Got accepted as an Articifer in the Royal Navy, failed the medical due to a. Injury.
can you re apply? Or is it a lifelong injury? What's an articifer?
It was partially blind in one eye, due to a mate messing with an air pistol. It was nice to get through the aptitude tests though.
I was told that I could re apply next year, but my eye sight never got good enough to join.
An Articifer was an officer in the engineering branch, you were hated by both ranks and officers. They worked hard to get to where they are, an Articifer gets the rank due to their knowledge."
Tifs aren’t officers. It was a fast track for junior rates in engineering. |

24 years Army, great time with great people still involved with the Army but as a civilian now |

Wouldn't like to be a translator for the British army right about now, or to be trained by them. Thoughts and prayers with the people being massacred today.
If I was going to do the army again I'd probably do the same, a front line grunt but I'd probably end different. Either stay in the special training or transfer to embassy protection. Or maybe even moved to being protection on the shops sailing around Africa. Pretty boring writing computer code.

There’s always some overly privileged, ignorant fool that don’t know what they have until it’s taken form them, then they need the very organisations that they have been bad mouthing.
No body kills for Queen and country, they defend their colleagues and those that need protecting. |

I went through the 5-days selection interview for the RAF at Biggin Hill and was accepted to begin training at Cranwell.
Didn’t take it up because I went into a different career entirely but the selection process was great fun. |

Because that’s all the forces do isn’t it. How ignorant are you.
I wouldn’t even bite to the troll mate… he’s obvs bitter that he failed selection for the army cadets and has carried a grudge ever since! "

I remember working with a guy once who had done National Service when younger. When asked what his profession was, he said he was an artist, which was true. They had him painting tanks. |
